If it is Warriors vs. Heat, it will be the Culture War.

Just gonna put this out there. If it's not a Celtics/Warriors Finals shit's rigged.

I don't believe that by the way.

More than anything else. I think shot distribution was the biggest issue for the Celtics in Game 6. Marcus Smart should not have more FG attempts than Jayson Tatum, especially in a night when Tatum scored 30...

That said, Jimmy somehow managed to upstage his bubble performance last night. Game of his life.

This critique of yours, are you aware that it's totally incorrect?

Not sure how you allow yourself to be held to one shot apiece for the entire quarter when you are they will best players on the team. Not to mention Brown missing both free throws in a critical situation

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

So smart not only stunk up the joint offensively but he also was destroyed on defense. Nice to know.

Celtics have also won 2-3 playoff games without him.

He's doing his best rudy gobert impression i guess. Defensive player of the year then worthless bum in playoffs.

We're going to need him and Horford to stop choking, this is gameeeeeee sevennnnn

 

[Manster7588]

I'll still watch, not with high hopes though.

Seeing how Boston has played very well coming off a loss, I like their chances.

I will jinx bet on the heat just in case.

Do you realize how much Smart meant just so the team could be here?

Without Smart Boston isn't the 2 seed, and if they were, it would be Milwaukee here not the Cs

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah

Us diehard sports fans are in it through thick and thin but I will say there are certain circumstances that aren’t easy to watch. The C’s are very much in this series, they have as much of a chance as Miami, don’t care if it’s a home game. It’s do or die

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

What did the celtics do in game 7 against bucks? They benched Robert williams

I feel they need to do this again. His defense is nice but it doesn't make up for how bad he drags the offense down with him. Clogging up that damn lane all the time. I don't even like grant but he's at least a floor spacer. Robert is just a complete black hole on offense.

Reg season maybe but he ain't built for this time of the year. We blew out bucks without him game 2 and he has been atrocious all Miami series outside of game 2.

On top of that he's taking too many shots when he should be feeding 75% FG tatum

 

[Hambombs]

I'll still watch, not with high hopes though.

As of now Celtics are 2 point favorites lol

 

[Hambombs]

Heat have been there best when they’re doubted

Butler put up 41 and 47 in 2/3 wins

Just need to double the hell out of him and live with the results. If the rest of the guys hit shots then it is what it is.

I would trust tatum to guard butler. Any other guy gets stuck on him on a switch or whatever, it should be an automatic double.

Celtics are the better team if they just limit turnovers and double butler.

We will see who the better team is in about 24 hours

I'm not sure that outcome necessarily will reflect that either. Clearly the Heat's success is highly tied to Butler's health, and he just played extended minutes. Herro has been out, etc. Celtics have also dealt with injuries. It's just the reality of late season NBA.
